Land Use Planning Benefits Sample Clauses

Land Use Planning Benefits. In the vicinity of HST stations, the HST system will generally be compatible with local, regional, and state plans and policies that support rail systems, including the HST, and transit-oriented development (XXX). It will offer opportunities for increased infill development and redevelopment of downtown centers, which would reduce pressures for conversion of surrounding agricultural land to non-agricultural uses. The HST system will promote transit-oriented, higher-density development around transit nodes as the key to stimulate in-fill development that makes more efficient use of land and resources, can better sustain population growth, and reduce development pressures on the surrounding agricultural lands. The increased density of development in and around HST stations yields the additional public benefit of making public infrastructure improvements more cost-effective. The HST stations in Merced and Fresno would create a beneficial change in visual character when viewed from adjacent downtown locations. The indirect effects of the project would be most noticeable at the HST stations and are expected to result in an overall increase in visual quality (Section 3.16). Additionally, the HST system is expected to be a catalyst for wider adoption of smart growth principles in communities near HST stations. The HST system will also meet the need for improved inter-modal connectivity with existing local and commuter transit systems. HST stations in California will be multi-modal transportation hubs (Section 3.13). The concept of the HST station as a transportation hub, is also consistent with the Revised 2012 Business Plan, the primary difference being a lower level of ridership projected during the early years on implementation and operation. All the selected high-speed rail station locations will provide linkage with local and regional transit, airports, and highways. In particular, convenient links to other rail services (heavy rail, commuter rail, light rail, and conventional intercity) will promote XXX at stations by increasing ridership and pedestrian activity at these “hub” stations. A high level of accessibility and activity at the stations can make the nearby area more attractive for additional economic activity (Section 3.13). Most of the potential stations identified for further evaluation at the project level are located in the heart of the downtown/central city areas of California’s major cities, minimizing potential impacts on the environment and ...
